We've worked with her almost every year since our engagement shoot six years ago; since then, she's captured our wedding, maternity, and seasonal family photos - I can't imagine trusting anyone else with our family's photographic story. She consistently delivers beautiful, thoughtful, and creative images and is an all-around wonderful person we look forward to catching up with at each shoot. We treasure her work!” - Summer
Why Family Photos Matter
As a mom of 3 myself, I know all too well how quickly time passes by. Didn’t I just bring these sweet babies home from the hospital? How are they walking, talking, going off to school already? Even as a photographer myself, I know how easy it is to get caught up in life and forget to document all the firsts, middles, and lasts of a stage. And once those stages are gone we are left wishing we had taken just one more photograph or one more video. So I firmly believe there is no such thing as ‘too many photos’.
Why Choose Me as Your Family Photographer
When you choose me to document your family, I take as much care and interest as I do photographing my own memories. It is not a task I take lightly, and I truly pour my heart into each family that graces my lens. Booking a family photo session with me doesn’t just ensure that we document their cute little grin or playful nature, but that YOU also are in the picture. So often as parents, we are hidden in plain sight, behind the camera. Your kids deserve photos with you in them.
Family Photos Are Important For Every Stage Of Life
Family photos aren’t just important for documenting the little ones, but every stage of life deserves documentation and preservation. I have loved working with families of grown kids as well as seeing their dynamic and love grow and change over the years. Incorporating grandparents and spouses and even their own kids.
Sandy consistently displayed professionalism and efficiency, skillfully organizing our family for all the specific photos we wanted. She has since photographed numerous events and milestones for our family, always delivering dozens of memorable photos. We absolutely adore her and her work. - Vera Dahm
